The oxygen family
The element in the oxygen family are oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, polonium.
The period of the oxygen family starts at 2 and ends at 6. the group is 16. Oxygen is the only gas in the family, the rest are solids. Tellurium and polonium are metalloid elements the rest are nonmetal elements. sulfur is yellow,selenium, tellurium, polonium is metallic and oxygen is clear.
The image “http://zebu.uoregon.edu/~imamura/122/images/periodic_table.gif” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
Oxygen is a gas nonmetal, sulfur and selenium are solid nonmetals, tellurium is a solid metalloid, and polonium is a solid metal.
In the the picture above the oxygen family starts in the 2nd row down, and the 16 column , it ends in the 6th row, and 16th column .The abriviation for oxygen is O , for sulfur, S for selenium, SE, for Tellurium, TE ,and for polonium, PO.
Oxygen of the Oxygen family is commonly used for the daily breath, and sulfur of the Oxygen family is used as one of the components as black gun powder.
Some facts are, Oxygen is the most used element on the periodic table. Tellurium is extremely rare, the ninth rarest metallic element on Earth. Polonium is used in photographic film.
Sulfuric acid is highly reactive. Oxygen is not reactive. Polonium has 25 isotopes, which are all radioactive.Polonium is 250 000 times more toxic than Hydrogen Cyanide.
Where the Oxygen Family is located.
